It took several decades to develop practi cal superconductors that could be applied effectively to scientific\, ener gy\, and medical devices. This long gestation period was due to the need t o operate low-temperature superconductors (LTSs) under cryogenic condition s in liquid helium at temperatures near absolute zero.\n\nThe field of hig h-energy physics led the way through development of NbTi superconductors f or high-field particle accelerator applications. This development allowed a new field of medical diagnostics to evolve: nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR) imaging. Higher field magnets for scientific and materials research f ollowed with the development of Nb3Sn for NMR systems. This development wa s further enhanced by application to large-scale fusion magnets. Early att empts at applying LTSs to electric power applications had technical succes s but were not accepted in power grid use\, primarily because of the need to operate in a liquid helium environment.\n\nNow the new high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) are proving technically attractive for power indus try applications as well as offering significant advantages for many large -scale applications.\n\nIn this talk\, I will give an overview of these ap plications and provide examples of both LTS and HTS systems that are in us e or under development.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Joseph V.
